Connect to WebLink

wenglor C5KC

When you double-click the WebLink desktop shortcut or enter the reader’s IP address directly in the address bar of your web browser, WebLink will load and start.

Type http://192.168.100.1 (the default IP address) in the web browser’s address bar. The WebLink session will begin shortly after you enter the reader’s IP address.

Note: WebLink is the preferred user interface for wenglor readers, but wenglor’s ESP Software can also be used for configuration and testing. ESP is particularly useful in the following circumstances:

• Device discovery to find the reader IP address;

• If you only have an RS-232 (serial) connection;

• Updating wenglor firmware;

• Using the Configuration Database;

• Creating barcodes for reader configuration;

• Generating Symbol Quality reports.
